Billet de blog 💬 Au CRA de Coquelles: «Ils m’ont kidnappé» - le témoignage d’Ahmed
Après avoir fini sa peine de #prison, Ahmed a été enfermé au #CRA (#CentreDeRétention administrative) de Coquelles, à côté de #Calais. La police le retient depuis une vingtaine de jours, alors qu’il voudrait quitter le pays au plus vite pour rejoindre sa famille qu’il n’a pas vu depuis longtemps. Voici son témoignage.
The (literal) foundations of the IT industry are currently freaking out about the EU Cyber Resilience Act which is about to be released.
While #opensource is the backbone of the economy, it is very hidden, and the #CRA is about to make the stakes too high to contribute. Open source would silently dry out, leading to the opposite what the CRA actually intended.
#Cl0p has listed multiple companies claimed to be clients of EY including #AirCanada, #UofT, #Telus and #CRA Electronic Resources. Cl0p has also posted multiple zip files. Which, if any, of the companies the zips relate to is not stated. #MOVEit
I'm increasingly concerned about the nature of the Cybersecurity Resilience Act and its potentially negative impact on #FOSS and ergo #OpenResearch, as well as on open scholarly infrastructure. Thanks for @KasparRosagerLudvigsen for the alarm call! 😉
Kaspar provides an overview of the Act and some recommendations for improvement here:
Hey Canadian peeps. Have you tried recently to sign in to the CRA 'My Account' site? I've had the spinning circle all morning. Down Detector is useless, says they haven't been able to connect for a year. If you see this, let me know. Thanks!

Planet Dyne is enjoying the summer with a vigilant eye on the feeds. News are bleak, climate is at the door, but beach, chats and terrazas are full of conspiring dynes conspiring.
One dyne initiate a discussion about the Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA). It sparks an interesting debate leading to a piece published by another dyne on Medium:
"Individuals, SMEs, and institutions will be
hampered either by enormous administrative burdens or a chilling effect on their activities
(and a potential rush towards the American Tech Giants) for fear of risking penalties under
the CRA."
Live in the EU? #FOSS developer or contributor? The #CyberResilienceAct might impact what you do.
Join #Joomla, #WordPress, #TYPO3 and #Drupal tomorrow in a first-of-it’s-kind joint webinar to discuss the #CRA and it’s implications for open source and CMS projects and communities.
It's time for Europeans to start writing to their MEPs about the Cyber Resilience Act. It has recently been modified in a way that will be very harmful to #OpenSource projects.
This article from Github does a good job explaining the issues. Those first two issues are the ones that have been recently and intentionally introduced. Your MEP probably doesn't know and still thinks open source has been excluded from the scope.
Die nächsten #OpenSource Projekte üben die Zukunft – #FileZilla bietet heute keine Downloads an, #Python hat angekündigt in der EU nicht mehr lauffähig zu sein, #Mozilla, #Eclipse - alle dabei. Hintergrund ist der #CyberResilienceAct (#CRA), dieser verpflichtet alle Entwickler*innen dazu für ihren Code finanziell zu haften. Dank schwammigen Aussagen ohne Ausnahme. Wer einen Code kostenlos weitergibt muss ggf. ähnlich oder gar mehr haften als kommerzielle Firmen, die ihre Kunden zahlen lassen.
"Open source" has an actual definition. The definition is important. If you relax or ignore the definition, the term becomes meaningless.
A lot of people call things "open source" that aren't. Some are just lazy. When corporations do it, especially very large tech corporations like Meta, it's an attempt to make the term "open source" meaningless.
@jwildeboer come on, Jan, that rhetoric of Open Source as different that Free software is not helpful. For all intents and purposes, they're the same thing, sometimes told with different nuances, as the situation and audience demand. We're facing a common existential threat with the #CRA, stick the guns to the front, not the side.
#CRA about to enter trilogue: We call on institutions to put the burden of liability only to those who benefit significantly financially from the market, while protecting developers and non-profit work
